The measure of a man，s real character is what he would do it he knew he would never be found out.

— Thomas Macaulay

Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nantette O’Neill gave an arithmetic ____ to our class. When the papers were ____ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about ____ in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill ____ even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to ____ after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. O’Neill asked ____ questions, and she did not ____ us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the ____ words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to ____ these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

I don’t ____ about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single ____ of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they ____ seem to me the best yardstick(準繩), because they give us a ____ to measure ourselves rather than others.

____ of us are asked to made ____ decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called __ daily to make a great many personal decisions. ____ the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman?

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早戀）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (沮喪，抑郁）. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all．

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “l(fā)oss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “l(fā)ose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “l(fā)oss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．

Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity （成熟） gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Romance is a double-edged sword for adults.

B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.

C. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

D. Romance is good for young people.

2.Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A. disapproving B. confused

C. neutral D. scared

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t: understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that: hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up；she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (負責(zé)任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized(強調(diào)) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating(欺騙) themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously(認真地) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued(繼續(xù)) to believe that I had cheated on the test.

1.The story took place(發(fā)生) exactly ________.

A. in the teacher’s office

B. in an exam room

C. in the school

D. in the language lab

2.The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ________.

A. she had not brought a pen with her

B. she had lost her own on her way to school

C. there was something wrong with her own

D. her own had been taken away by someone

3.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ________.

A. to go on writing his paper

B. to stop whispering

C. to leave the room immediately

D. to stay behind after the exam

4.The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was (were) ________.

A. honesty B. sense of duty

C. seriousness D. all of the above

5.The boy knew everything ________.

A. the moment he was asked to stay behind

B. when the teacher started talking about honesty

Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.

A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.

Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.

So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.

1.What can we learn about crossing one's legs?

A. It is a very bad social habit.

B. It is usually practiced deliberately.

C. It can make others feel uncomfortable.

D. It can do harm to people's health.

2.According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______.

A. resist gravity effectively B. affect your blood pressure

C. lead to heart attacks easily D. improve the function of legs

3.In the third paragraph "pins and needles" probably means______.

A. serious muscle injuries B. being a little nervous

C. slight sharp pains D. being highly flexible

4.What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To give readers some advice. B. To compare common habits.

C. To evaluate effects of an experiment. D. To introduce research methods.

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

【題目】We discuss the issue of when to help a patient die. Doctors of our generation are not newcomers to this question. Going back to my internship(實習(xí))days, I can remember many patients in pain, sometimes in coma(昏迷), with late, hopeless cancer. For many of them, we wrote an order for heavy medication—morphine(嗎啡)by the clock. This was not talked about openly and little was written about it. It was essential, not controversial.

The best way to bring the problem into focus is to describe two patients whom I cared for. The first, formerly a nurse, had an automobile accident. A few days later her lungs seemed to fill up; her heart developed dangerous rhythm disturbances. So there she was: in coma, on a breathing machine, her heartbeat maintained with an electrical device. One day after rounds, my secretary said the husband and son of the patient wanted to see me. They told me their wife and mother was obviously going to die; she was a nurse and had told her family that she never wanted this kind of terrible death, being maintained by machines. I told them that while I respected their view, there was nothing deadly about her situation. The kidney(腎) failure she had was just the kind for which the artificial kidney was most effective. While possibly a bit reassured, they were disappointed. Here was the head surgeon seemingly determined to keep everybody alive, no matter what.

Within a few days the patient's pacemaker(起搏器) could be removed and she awoke from her coma. About six months later, the door of my office opened and in walked a gloriously fit woman. After some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son asked to speak to me alone. As soon as the door closed, both men became quite tearful. All that came out was, “We want you to know how wrong we were.”

The second patient was an 85-year-old lady whose hair caught fire while she was smoking. She arrived with a deep burn; I knew it would surely be deadly. As a remarkable coincidence there was a meeting for discussion going on at the time in medical ethics(道德). The speaker asked me if I had any sort of ethical problem I could bring up for discussion. I described the case and asked the students their opinion. After the discussion, I made a remark that was, when looking back, a serious mistake. I said, "I'll take the word back to the nurses about her and we will talk about it some more before we decide." The instructor and the students were shocked: "You mean this is a real patient?" The teacher of ethics was not accustomed to being challenged by actuality. In any event, I went back and met with the nurses. A day or two later, when she was making no progress and was suffering terribly, we began to back off treatment. Soon she died quietly and not in pain. As a reasonable physician, you had better move ahead and do what you would want done for you. And don't discuss it with the world first. There is a lesson here for everybody. Assisting people to leave this life requires strong judgment and long experience to avoid its misuse.

【1】The first patient’s husband and son wanted the doctor_____.

A. to save her life

B. to end her life

C. use an artificial kidney

D. to maintain her life with machines

【2】In the early days when a patient had got a deadly, hopeless illness, _______.

A. doctors would inject more morphine into the patient to end his life

B. doctors would turn him away and ask him to go back home and wait for death

C. doctors would write a new order for their medical treatment to ease their pain

D. doctors would discuss their treatment plan with the patient and write down the solution

【3】At the meeting, the author discussed with the students_____.

A. the importance of mercy killing

B. the relationship between mercy killing and ethics

C. the case about an old lady

D. the process to practice mercy killing

【4】The author suggested that doctors_____ before they assist a patient in killing himself.

A. do what they are wanted to do

B. discuss with the others about the decision first

C. be required to do so first by the patient

D. make sure there is no other choice left

【5】Through the two patients mentioned in the text, the author thinks that on the issue of helping a patient die, doctors need to be _________.

A. cruel and cautious

B. experienced and thoughtful

C. pessimistic and determined

D. considerate and optimistic
